and it will allocate more than $250 million to support the civil rights division's efforts to address bias, intimidation and discrimination from america's housing and lending markets to our schools, workplaces, border area ands our voting booths. now, unfortunately, our capacity to build upon this comprehensive work has been negatively impacted by sequestration, which recently cut over $1.6 billion from the department's budget. these cuts have a detrimental effect on our employees,on the america's law enforcement community. despite our best efforts to reduce expenses, i'm very concerned about the department's ability to keep the fbi, the atf, the dea and the u.s. marshals service both this year and next. less than a month ago using my limited authorities to transfer and allocate existing funds, i provided $150 million to the bureau of prisons to avoid furloughing more than 3,500 correctional staff each day from federal prisons around the country. this would have created serious life and safety threats for our staff, inmay notes and the public. i want to thank chairman wolf and members
